When the autumn wind hit, Chen Shuyue wrapped his battle clothes tightly, he looked at the thinly dressed soldiers behind him, and his heart hurt like a knife, but he couldn't do anything about it, and the guilt in his heart rose sharply.

He has changed from a gentleman to a general who cares about the world now, and he has indeed experienced too many desolations, ups and downs, and has met a lot of friends, some of whom are knights who care about the world, and some of whom are ordinary people.

Chen Shuyue got up and walked into the distance, his heart was extremely painful. It's not because of my thin clothes, not because I can't enjoy those delicious foods, and not because I'm at the border all the year round, but because of the scene in front of me. The scene of the country being broken and the family forgotten, and the sadness of the separation of the wife. The border soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy, but the officials of the DPRK and China drank and had fun, acted recklessly, and ceded land and paid compensation, which was in stark contrast to the decline of the country. He felt that this was sadness, this was desolation.

Chen Shuyue can't seem to remember why he came to Guangling back then, let alone why he wore a battle robe to the front line. Everything is no longer so important, the important thing is that even if you are broken, you can do something for the country and make a modest contribution.

Military advisor Gong Banxian had just learned about the situation ahead from the spies, and hurriedly urged the horse to come.

"Where is the prince? Where is the prince? Gong Banxian hurriedly shouted before the crowd arrived.

"The prince is ahead!" A pawn hurriedly said.

Gong Banxian looked in the direction that the pawn was pointing to, and saw Chen Shuyue looking at the Guangling Mountain Range, and the figure seemed to have melted into this Guangling Mountain Range. Gong Banxian couldn't help but snort and sighed. He couldn't bear it and was unwilling, but he accepted his fate at this point.

Gong Banxian urged him to step forward immediately and go to find Chen Shuyue.

Gong Banxian dismounted and came to Chen Shuyue's side and said: "Lord Wang, my subordinates have just come from Zhao Huanong's side, and the Northern Zhou army has retreated now, and it seems that they know that our army is coming, I am afraid that they will not dare to come, I see that the weather is cold, it is better to let the soldiers burn the fire, one can be warm, and the other is to let the enemy see the bonfire soaring into the sky, pretending that our army has many soldiers and horses, and so on, I am afraid that the enemy army will not dare to come to meet for a while." ”

Chen Shuyue nodded, and glanced back at Gong Banxian standing in front of him, this old brother who had followed him for so many years, seeing him was like seeing hope, Chen Shuyue couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth in his heart.

"Since the prince agrees, his subordinates will do it!" Gong Banxian couldn't bear to look at Chen Shuyue's face again, because that originally handsome face was now extremely thin, and his fair skin was now dark and dark.

Gong Banxian hurriedly walked towards the army, Chen Shuyue sighed and said, "Strategist, let the soldiers drink some wine tonight, they also need to drink some wine to suppress the shock and warm up." With that, he walked away alone.

Gong Banxian looked at Chen Shuyue's distant back, and his heart was extremely painful. This young man, who was not yet thirty years old, should have enjoyed the glory and wealth in the palace, accompanied by beautiful wines and beautiful women, but now, the soldiers had to work hard to eat, drink, and sleep.

Gong Banxian sighed again and walked towards the army.

The sun gradually set, and the flames raging in the south of Guangling Mountain lit up the sky above Guangling. From time to time, there were bursts of meat fragrance wafting in the wind, which attracted the soldiers standing guard and couldn't help but look back.

Yang Guangxin rushed over from the rear to check the military situation, and found that the soldiers were drinking wine and eating meat, and he was immediately puzzled, and asked the soldiers on duty: "What is this doing?" Why does the enemy drink alcohol now? What if the enemy attacked? ”

The soldier shook his head, he didn't know.

Yang Guangxin pushed away the soldiers and hurriedly walked into the camp tent and asked Gong Banxian: "Military division, the two armies are about to fight, why do the soldiers in front of our army drink wine and eat meat?" Once the enemy army comes to attack, is this going to bring about its own destruction? ”

Gong Banxian smiled and said: "Hahaha, don't worry, general, do you think that even if the enemy army comes to attack, can we resist it with our little men?" ”

"Even if you can't resist it, you have to resist it, and the big man spilled his blood to protect his family and defend the country." Yang Guangxin said.

"I know, I know. You, General Yang, are a man, are you willing to do this, don't I want to do this? The prince doesn't want to do this? ”

"And why is that?"

"This drinking is a pleasure, the other is warm, today I see that everyone has nothing to do and ordered some people to go into the mountains to hunt, anyway, the soldiers haven't eaten meat for several days, isn't this just right?"

Yang Guangxin asked, "Then does the prince know about this?" ”

Gong Banxian said: "This matter is allowed by the prince, and the drinking is also ordered by the prince." ”

"The prince is sympathetic to his subordinates and the people." Yang Guangxin said.

Suddenly, Huo Budu came in with two roast rabbits and said, "Haha, I said do you two want to eat it?" Look, it's so fragrant. ”

The three of them didn't care about the appearance of the general, and one of them tore a piece and ate it, and from time to time they still muttered "delicious, delicious".

When Chen Shuyue came in, the three of them hurriedly stood up, put the rabbit meat in their hands on the bookcase, and waited respectfully for Chen Shuyue to come to the side, but Chen Shuyue said as soon as he entered the tent: "Good and good, how can you miss me and enjoy it alone?" It seems that the soldiers have good skills, this rabbit test is scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, I smelled the meat a mile away, it seems that my whole army is blessed. Saying that, he also tore a piece and ate it, so he didn't think that this person was the famous King of Guangling, a general who held the military power of the border, Chen Shuyue took two bites and looked back at the three of them, and said, "What are you waiting for?" Do you want me to enjoy it alone, or do you want me to feed you and wait for you? Suddenly, the four of them were eating together.

After a while, the two rabbits were wiped out, and Chen Shuyue said: "I'm not enjoying it yet, I'll go and eat with the soldiers for a while." As he spoke, he walked out, causing Gong Banxian, Yang Guangxin and Huo Bu to laugh out loud, and this move was completely unexpected by the three of them.

Half an hour later, Gong Banxian was worried that Chen Shuyue was in danger, so he hurriedly went out to look for it. When Gong Banxian and others found Chen Shuyue, he sat with the soldiers, eating meat and drinking, everyone laughed, and the scene was a lot of harmony, which made Gong Banxian shed tears, which was both moved and sad.

Chen Shuyue stood up and said when she was happy: "Soldiers, my brothers, you are all my Chen Shuyue's relatives, you all bid farewell to your parents, farewell to your wives and children and come to the border to defend your family and the country, you are all heroes of the imperial court, no matter what happens, I Chen Shuyue will not abandon you, as long as I Chen Shuyue is here, I will not let you get hurt and starve." Come! I give you a toast to your brothers. After finishing speaking, he raised his neck and drank a bowl of wine, and the whole army drank it all.

"After so many years of being a soldier, there has never been a general who cares so much about us, I can't imagine that I met a good person today, and we swear to follow us!" Several soldiers talked about it.

Chen Shuyue knelt down after drinking, which made Gong Banxian, Yang Guangxin and others not expect it, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Chen Shuyue, and the soldiers also hurriedly knelt down.

Chen Shuyue motioned for Yang Guangxin to stand back, knelt on the ground and said to the soldiers, "Get up!" Get up! Get up for me! ”

Soldiers, look at me, I look at you, no one dares to get up, Chen Shuyue shouted again: "I told you to get up, violators will be beheaded!" The soldiers got up just now, but they saw Chen Shuyue still kneeling on the ground, the wind blew his hair, and the flames blew "popping", and the scene was extremely touching.

Chen Shuyue said: "Brothers, I knelt down for you at the will of the court of Chen State, although I am no longer a prince of the court, but you are the heroes of my Chen State, and I should kneel for you." The second is that I myself kneel down for you, as the coach, I let you live a life without clothes and food, this is my coach's dereliction of duty, it is my failure to take care of everyone, I Chen Shuyue am sorry for everyone, Chen Guo is sorry for everyone. Third, it is on behalf of the thousands of people in Guangling who kneel down for you, and it is your sworn defense that can give them a home and a place to rely on. ”

Chen Shuyue's words were fixed in the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the whole army, and many people were moved to tears.

The whole battlefield was quiet, only the sound of the flames was quiet, it seemed that everyone froze at that moment, and then the cries of the soldiers were heard, and then there was a big cry, and the cries were connected and resounded throughout the valley.

Gong Banxian didn't expect Chen Shuyue to say such a thing, he would kneel, he also cried, crying that he was with the right person, crying that Chen Shuyue loved the people like a son.

Yang Guangxin shouted: "Swear to defend Guangling!" ”

The soldiers shouted in unison: "Swear to defend Guangling to the death!" ”

Yang Guangxin shouted again: "Swear to follow the prince to the death!" ”

The soldiers shouted again: "Swear to follow the prince to the death!" The shout echoed through the valley for a long time.

The wind continued to blow, but tonight's soldiers were fanatical in their hearts, and suddenly they had the strength to rush down the hill and slash the enemy to death, and to kill those who frightened them.

The night in Guangling was very quiet, and the soldiers slept very comfortably, as if this night made them no longer so frightened and less lost.

Gong Banxian stood alone outside the tent, looking at the cold sky, he felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

"Strategist, why don't you sleep yet?" Yang Guangxin sat over and asked.

"Is the prince asleep?"

"He slept very soundly, and it is estimated that this is the most soundly and comfortable time he has slept well." Yang Guangxin said.

"Yes! The control of the Guangling army made the prince haggard, looking at those corrupt court generals and officials, his heart was not just uncomfortable? Over the years, the ups and downs are not just talking about it, and only after experiencing it can I know the pain points. Gong Banxian's heart didn't seem to be at peace.

Yang Guangxin said: "We all understand the prince's thoughts, you don't have to blame yourself too much, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, don't worry so much, you will leave the safety of the prince to me tonight, right?" ”

Gong Banxian nodded and said, "It's hard work General Yang." ”

The two of them were in the cold wind of Guangling, looking at each other at the night sky.
